HOK’s 2nd Annual BIM Awards

In this feature article, we will take a look at the projects selected as the finalists in HOK's 2nd Annual BIM Awards competition. HOK is one of the leading architectural firms in the world and has been at the forefront of implementing BIM; we explored its BIM implementation more closely in the 2008 feature article “Technology Adoption and Implementation at HOK”. It is also a champion of the BuildingSmart initiative, with its CEO, Patrick MacLeamy, being closely involved in the organization (see the Viewpoint article on buildingSMART by Mario Guttman, written when he was Vice-president and Firmwide CAD Director at HOK). In fact, MacLeamy’s graph, now famous as the MacLeamy curve, is the most repeated graphic I’ve seen in AEC presentations advocating the need and usefulness of BIM.FPY中国BIM门户 - ChinaBIM.com

HOK’s BIM Awards are an internal competition to evaluate and award projects within HOK that have exhibited exemplary use of BIM technology in one of four major categories; Design, Delivery, Collaboration, and Visualization. They were started last year, when they were judged by an internal jury. This year, HOK also had a similar competition, but with a jury comprised of outside experts on BIM. I was one of the five invited to serve on the jury, and therefore had the opportunity to review all the finalists’ presentations and get an understanding of their projects in order to deliberate on them to select the winners. In contrast to some of the award juries I have participated on, all of the finalists’ entries were of similarly high quality, reflecting the premium HOK places on the good use of BIM. Serving on the jury also gave me the unique opportunity to get an inside look at the projects located all over the world that were being done by HOK using BIM, and the methodology that was used. This perspective would be helpful to any AEC firm adopting BIM, which is why it is being shared on AECbytes through this feature article.FPY中国BIM门户 - ChinaBIM.com

The winners of HOK’s BIM Awards (called BIMies) were announced at a special ceremony at Autodesk University on November 28. (Recall that AECbytes published two articles on Autodesk University 2011 last month: the highlights of the general session keynote and the innovation forums and the highlights of the Exhibit Hall from an AEC perspective.) This article first looks at all the projects that were selected as the finalists in the four different categories of HOK’s BIM Awards and then lists those that were designated as the winners. It should be noted that since the overall quality of the projects was so high, the choice of winner in each of the four categories was far from unanimous among the jury members. While each category had its own specific list of criteria, which will be noted as each category is discussed, there were some general criteria for all the submissions, including the innovative use of BIM tools and processes, effective team collaboration, and evidence of process change that enhanced the overall services provided by the firm.FPY中国BIM门户 - ChinaBIM.com

Design Category（设计类）

The main criterion for this category was to exhibit innovative approaches to the design process using BIM. There were three diverse projects that were selected as the finalists for this category, located in different parts of the world: the Wenzhou Lingni Peninsula Master Plan project in China; the Delhi Control Tower in India; and Phase II of the Oceanwide City Plaza, also in China. Let us look at all of them in more detail.FPY中国BIM门户 - ChinaBIM.com

The Master Plan of the Wenzhou Lingni Peninsula, which is a 130 sq. km. reclaimed site at the Pacific coast of China, was developed to provide the framework for a sustainable city woven into the natural systems of a sensitive site that would synthesize human need, environmental stewardship, and economic viability. Revit Architecture was used for drafting and documenting the master plan framework and generating all planning diagrams. The plan framework was then brought into Rhinoceros via .dwg format for conceptual architectural design. Project information in both Revit and Rhino was also used to create physical models and in generating  renderings and animations by outside consultants. The use of Revit Architecture supplied the design team with realtime numeric information to make informed design decisions; it also greatly reduced the time required to produce planning diagrams by about 80%, so the team was able to spend much more time optimizing the design. Figure 1 below shows the BIM model of the conceptual design created in Revit, as well as the final rendered image of the master plan.FPY中国BIM门户 - ChinaBIM.com
